UNITED STATES WILLIAM H. HAINES, 0F NEWARK, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR TOHIMSELF AND JOHN MGLORMAN, OF SAME PLACE.

IMPROVEDVARNISH FOR ENAMELING CLOTHl Specification forming part ofLetters Patent No. 511,998, dated January 9, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM HrHAINES, oi'the city of Newark, in thecounty of Essex and State of New Jersey, have inveuted'certain new anduseful Improvements in Varnish for Coating Cloth, Leather, andother'S'ubstances; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,clear, and exactdescription of the same.

The nature of my said invention consists in combining two or more oilsor varnishes together, each oil or varnish, when separate, having adifferent and independent drying property, so that when admixed and usedtogether and applied to cloth or leather in the usual method ofenameling the same the combined varnish will dry in an unequal and iiregular manner, and the surface of the mate-- rial will present a seriesof regular irregular corrugations,in form and design substantially thesame as the crystallization or frost-work on a window. Various ingedients may be employed in making the varnish, either When separate orcombined, producing it of every degree of drying quality and of variouscolors, shades, and'consistency, all of which would variously modify andchange the appearance, design, and quality of the finished work,withvout, however, substantially affecting the prim ciple or characterof my said invention.

In preparing the combined varnish as now' employed by me, and which,when appliedto cloth, produces a highly-finished and novel.

style of goods, I first take one gallon of raw linseed-oil, with which Imix five pounds of,

pulverized burnt umber. I then boil, this admixture down to such aconsistency that, when oil and umber before described and apply thewhole combined varnish, upon cloth, leather, or other material in theordinary way of making enameled cloth or leather, as before stated.

What I claim as new and of my own invention, and desire to secure byLetters Patent of the United States, is-

A varnish made of two or more substances or admixtures in the nature ofa varnish of an independent and difi'erent amount of drying property, sothat when admixed and used together the surface of the tarnish, whendry,

will present a series of crystallizations or derrugations, substantiallyin the manner and for the purposes described.
